The Phoenix Suns suspended forward Markieff Morris for two games on Thursday, for conduct detrimental to the team, after he tossed a towel toward coach Jeff Hornacek on Wednesday.
The incident took place in the fourth quarter of the Suns' 104-96 loss at home to the Denver Nuggets. It was the third straight loss for the Suns (12-19).
With 9:47 to play and Denver leading 84-75, Morris was taken out of the game. He threw the towel at Hornacek, who in turn picked up the towel and threw it back toward Morris.
